The Hermit, a Fascimile of a Tarot Card from the Visconti Deck - A Glimpse into the Mystical World of Divination
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The Hermit" an exquisite fascimile of a tarot card from the renowned Visconti deck. Created between 1441-47 by Bonifacio Bembo, this mesmerizing piece is part of a series of 74 (originally 78) cards commissioned for Francesco Sforza and Bianca Maria Visconti. Intriguingly enigmatic, the image depicts an elderly male figure holding a staff as he stands against a backdrop adorned with symbols representing time. The presence of an hourglass and egg timer alludes to the transient nature of existence while emphasizing the significance of introspection and wisdom in navigating life's journey. As one delves deeper into this artwork, it becomes evident that "The Hermit" holds immense divinatory power. With his hat symbolizing knowledge and experience, he embodies solitude and reflection—qualities essential for spiritual growth and self-discovery. This vivid portrayal not only captures the essence of tarot but also transports us back to fifteenth-century Italy when these cards were used for both entertainment and fortune-telling purposes. It serves as a reminder that games can transcend mere amusement; they can offer glimpses into our innermost selves. Displayed in private collections today, this facsimile print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate its intricate details while immersing
